Is there a quilt pattern, style or a quilting type that you have no desire to ever make?

My "Waterloo" would be a bargello.

For me, I guess the answer would be I'd never want to make a quilt that I already made, lol.

I agree; I like trying new things. And I have always said, I would try anything once. Sometimes I like it enough to do a couple times more. I like challenges, but have no desire to do applique unless it is in-the-hoop applique with the embroidery machine; they are fun. I won't do anything requiring hand stitching; mostly because of hands. And I like my quilts to be practical and usable, so no art quilts for me. Now why did I make that silk quilt?!?!?

I agree! I love Baltimore applique but don't think I'd ever have the patience or talent to make one of those.

I don't like rag quilts. I know that it is a personal preference, but rag quilts look unfinished. I do not like flannel and the mere touch of it sends chills down my spin it just gives me the creeps. It is just a texture thing.
